Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Fischer: Native Americans Need to Leave The Reservation, Convert To Christianity, and Become Full-Fledged American Citizens<\/a> – Stay classy, Bryan!<\/li>\n
  2. GOP Rep. Bill Cassidy Says Being On Medicaid Is \u2018Actually Worse\u2019 Than Having No Insurance<\/a> – I’m sure Rep. Cassidy will be more than happy to demonstrate this by rejecting all health insurance, including his congressional plan, for the next decade. Health through Lack of Health Care! Win!<\/li>\n
  3. HarperCollins largely abandons audiobook CDs, bundles audio rights with digital | TeleRead: News and views on e-books, libraries, publishing and related topics<\/a> – Hmmmm … digital downloads and listing in the car requires additional devices and activities that I don’t usually have to do. It’s less convenient for me than getting audiobooks on CD (esp. when one considers the long-term storage issue).<\/li>\n
  4. LA County Sheriff Calls Peter King\u2019s Bluff on American Muslims | People For the American Way Blog<\/a> – Don’t interfere with my demagoguery with your “facts”!<\/li>\n
  5. Dashiell Hammett’s lost works found in Texas | Books | The Guardian<\/a> – Cool …<\/li>\n
  6. Exclusive First Look: Nathan Fillion Lights It Up as Green Lantern – Today’s News: Our Take | TVGuide.com<\/a> – Fun.<\/li>\n
  7. Volume Ten of the Girl Genius Graphic Novel<\/a> – Woot!<\/li>\n
  8. New iPhone app aims to help Catholics go to Confession :: Catholic News Agency (CNA)<\/a> – That’s actually kind of interesting.<\/li>\n
  9. Of Refrigerators & Regulations | The White House<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. What I want from a restaurant website – The Oatmeal<\/a> – And this one’s for the In-Laws.<\/li>\n
  11. If you don\u2019t have a blog you don\u2019t have a resume<\/a> – I am not blogging to sell stuff. Or to establish a reputation. Or to become an A-List Blogger. I do it as a way of expressing myself, and recording stuff and experiences and thoughts and opinions in my life. That some folks find it entertaining enough to read it is (very tasty) icing on the cake.<\/li>\n
  12. Patriot Act extension fails in the House by seven votes<\/a> – Well, at least some temporary good news. Though, honestly, there are far to many people involved debating whether to extend it a few years, or several more years, or maybe make it permanent.<\/li>\n
  13. STARBUCKS IN STARBUCKS<\/a> – Awesome.<\/li>\n
  14. Iowa Voters Don’t Trust Obama on Egypt Because He’s Muslim<\/a> – Shocking! Anti-Obama Islamophobes are Anti-Islamic Obamaphobes!<\/li>\n
  15. Doctor Who Infographic | Flickr – Photo Sharing!<\/a> – Excellent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
